NORWEGIAN WOMAN'S TENNIS CHAMPION PLAYS HERE-LOUDERMILK PROVES TO BE STAfl

MISS BJURSTEDT, TENNIS MARVEL,
HAS TWO VITAL WEAKNESSES
Nonoegian Girl Depends Wholly on Ground Strokes; However,
Inexperience on Turf Courts Is Handicap Honor
System in Baseball Gives Way to Iron Rule.
PERSON'LY
Not since the playing days of Mm. Thomas C Uundy, nee May Sutlon,
have Philadelphia tennis followers been as Interested In the presence of a
woman racquet wlelder In their midst ns they aro In Miss Molla Bjurstcdt.
soman's champion of Norway and woman's Indoor champion of the United
States. In spite of the fact that sho was forced to forfeit her first singles
match becauso of an Injured nnklo and was beaten yesterday In the mixed
doubles, Miss Bjurstcdt Ib still the centre of Interest In tennis circles hero.
As a singles player Miss Bjurstcdt Is not unlike the general run of Call-
fornlans, In that sto depends largely, and Is particularly proficient. In her
fcround strokes. The. reasons for the slmlllarlty of her play and that of
our own TVestcrners Is that both have been more accustomed to hard courts,
Clay ac -oncrcte, than to the fickle turf. As has often been pointed out,
ground (,'rolces are used far more by those who play on clay and concrete
court than those whd use turf exclusively.
Miss Bjurstcdt Lacks Only Experience on Turf Courts
Taking her all-around work, Miss Bjurstcdt is, Indeed, a remarkable
fclayer. With the experience on turf courts that the other women of thl
country have had, sho would unquestionably bo among If not the foremost
player In the land. Her adaptability makes It an assured fact that if
she only had the practice she could combine her back-court game with
Volley play In such a way that would offset tho weakness of her service.
Miss BJurstedt, who, by the way, pronounces her name as though It
were "Bucsted," is better than the average golfer. Bo fond of the British
game Is sho that she followed Bcvcral pairs around tho Merlon course this
week. On one occasion one of tho women participants lost a ball. Miss
BJurstedt was delegated to find It. She found four, and the hole went against
the loser of the bait.
Weakness at Net and on Service
Women lawn tennis players nre naturally handicapped in their matches
with men because of tho superiority of the latter In covering the court; con
sequently it Is rare In mixed doubles for women to follow their service
to the net. It Is not only rare with Miss BJurstedt, but It never happens.
She has always depended so much upon her ground strokes that her volley
Jng Is decidedly oft color, especially for one wearing two national crowns. In
this respect Mrs. Bundy has, or had, a decided advantage over her rival from
the Scandinavian peninsula. Both Mrs. Bundy and Miss Mary Brown were
jroflclent at the net and both could boast of strong services. It is therefore
believed by the majority of those who have seen the Norwegian girl In action
that either of the two named American women could defeat her with little
difficulty on a turf court, and probably on a solidly surfaced one.
Miss BJurstedt has a powerful stroke, and plays it splendidly. It Is true
that In her match yesterday afternoon, when she and her partner, H. E.
Schlnzel, were defeated by Mrs. Marshall MacLcan and W. T. Tilden, Jr., Mies
BJurstedt was very erratic. At the snmo time, It must bo remembered that
her unfamlllartty with tho Inequalities of tho turf court can largely explain
her failure to stroke safely to the corners and to pass her opponents, as sho
In wont to do on concrete and clay. Furthermore, tho slow condition of
the courts at the Merlon Cricket Club yesterday, duo to the cxecesslve ratn
lull, had much to do with Miss BJurotedt's falluro to play her usually steady
and brilliant back-court game. Sho found It exceedingly difficult to get
the proper "spin" on the ball because of Its more or less sodden condition.
Rickey Forced to Reverse Ills Tactics With His Team
Branch Rickey's BrownH are hero for a four-game series with the Ath
letics, and It Is a much different club, In more ways than one, from the team
which had a "Joy rldo" through tho league season last year. Rickey was one of
those unfortunate managers who Induced contract Jumpers to Jump back to his
club, and learned, to his sorrow, that that sort of a ball player is of little value
to the team.
The two players whom Rickey induced to come back at a greatly Increased
salary were the first to break traces this Beason. They are Hamilton and Baum
gartner, both of whom were suspended a few weeks ago. Hamilton has been
reinstated and pitched a great game against Cleveland on Wednesday, con
vincing Manager Rickey that rigid discipline Is necessary. Baumgartner Is still
under the ban and Is drawing no pay from the club.
Honor System Gives Way to Iron Hand
When Rickey took charge of the Browns he tried to use an honor system
in the discipline of tho club, but discovered that his men needed more than that
to keep them in fit shape to play ball. The accident to Hamilton last fall opened
Rickey's eyeB. Hamilton was "Joy riding" and ran Into a telegraph polo In East
St. Louis, with his automobile. He suffered a broken shoulder, while all In the
car were badly hurt. This accident occurred at a time when Hamilton was on
his good behavior, according to the honor system.
Now Rickey is running his club with an iron hand, and though tho Browns
are not up in the running, they have played well, considering the number of
accidents the team has encountered. If Hamilton and Baumgartner would
remain in shape, the Browns' pitching staff would be one of the best in the
American League, with Loudermllk, Weilman, James, Hamilton, Baumgartner,
Hock and Leverenz, provided the latter regains his health.

Loudermllk One of American League's Real Sensations
Back in 1912, the veteran Ted Sullivan, scout for the White Sox and general
handy man for President Comlskey, made the remark that Bill James,, then
pitching for Seattle, would be one of the greatest pitchers in the game in two
years' time. James was then an unfinished and inexperienced hurler, but in the
two years' time he was recognized as one of the greatest twirlers in the game,
efter he had humbled the Athletics in the world's series and had pitched
wonderful ball throughout the season for the Braves.
Last summer Ted Sullhan watched Grover Loudermllk, of Louisville, pitch
a few games. He declared Loudermllk had more natural "stuff" than he had
ever seen. Loudermllk was purchased by the Browns, along with Severold.
Both had received brief trials In the National League, but had been sent back
for further seasoning. While with the Cardinals, In 1911 and 1612, Loudermllk
had little opportunity to show his true worth, because he was used so seldom.
Wlldness had always been his main fault, and with but little work in regular
games, his control grew worse Instead of better.
Loudermllk Is still wild, but not nearly so bad as he was before he was sent
to Louisville. When he has control, the big fellow is almost unhlttable, as his
record of two two-hit and a one-hit game nlready this season Indicate. Members
of the Athletics contend that Loudermllk has the wickedest fast ball they have
faced in years. It is not quite so fast as Walter Johnson's, but has a far greater
shoot to it, and is made particularly effective because of Loudermilk's reputed
wlldness. He is certain to be seen In one of the games In this city, and his
work will be well worth watching. If his control is godo, he Is likely to hang
Up a strike-out record at any time.
A younger brother of Louderpillk Is pitching in the Central Association and
ts due to come back to the majors this fall if he has finally learned to control
the ball. This lad, Louis, was with the Cardinals when drover was in the
Mound City, and, strangely, he is a southpaw and is not auitn hi. a. rs,
The latter stands 6 feet 6 Inches in height, while Lou is Just above the 6-foot
mark.
Doyle's Bonehead Play Recalls Local "Ivory"
Larry Doyle forgot that there was only one man out when he caught a
ball thrown toward the plate by Outfielder Moran, of the Braves, who was trying
to head off a runner from third who Was scoring on the sacrlftce. This caused
the umpire to call the runner put, for Doyle's interference, and deprived the
Giants of a victory.
This play was stupid, but an outfielder now with one of the local clubs once
caught a fly ball, with two men on base, one out and his team leading by a run,
and, to the amazement of the crowd, tucked the ball in his pocket and ran to
the cluWipuse. He thought two men were out at the time, and ran for the club
house, in centre field, while the tying and winning runs were crossing the plate.
His teammates were frantic trying tq attract his attention, but he thought they
want4 the ball, as it is a custom aipong players to want the last put-out in
Mder to get the ball, and continued to the clubhouse, where he was promptly
"That Reminds Mc"

All the others hang on spellbound.

But one l nervous anil that's no mvth

And it's ten to one that he breaks in with

You may be snielino a yarn on soav.
Or one that drifts to a monoplane;
While the centre of Interest In his dope

The gap Is as wide as the far abyss

But it's ten to nothing ha slips you this:

I could hardly wait for his final word,
When some big mutt beat me to it with
"Bay, that reminds me of one I heard"
With the average weather we have been

wonder that Interest In baseball Is a trifle

was to have been decided last January."
From an Insldo source, whatever that
Is, wo have been tipped to the following
status of affairs, viz.:
Judge Landls Is a fan and a lover of
baseball; he has gone Into the matter
carefully and has decided that tho old
method of running baseball that Is, the
ten-day notice and the renerve clause
was not legal, but was the only way
baseball could be run. If he ruled unon
strict legality he must rule against the
best tntcrtsts of the sport. And the only
way he could rule was over the strictly
legal route. So In place of rendering a'
decision that would hurt baseball as a
national Institution he decided to wait
and take a change upon O. B. and the
Feds getting together in a peace agree
ment. He has given them on unusual
amount of time, but unless they reach
tome agreement soon he may loss
patience and hand In his declnlon which
will be a rap at both parties and at the
gome.
We know one golfer who Is so addicted
to the habit of slicing that he will cat
only sliced oranges for breakfast.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN
IN BASEBALL TODAY
Is History Repeating?
On nt least four occasions In the last
flvo years we have watched the estlmablo
Phillies rise up In April and May and
display all the so-called earmarks of a
champion. Just what particular ear
marks adorn a champion we have never
known, but you get the Idea.
Then each ear as June arrived, the
still estimable Phillies proceeded to sot
tie after the manner of a steel glrdor
pushed gently but (Irmly oft the top of
a skyscraper. This spring, with Alexan
der In such condition, we had a hunch
that perhaps the Phils would hang around
most of the way. We never figured them
for pennant winners, but they looked Hood
enough for a place In the first three. But
of late they have been drifting fast, and
its a question now as to whether or not
they will even be able to remain long
In the upper set sometimes referred to as
the First Division. They nre quick start
ers, out they can t go tho distance. It
Is much after the manner of entering a
sprinter, a ten second man. at the hun
dred. In a two-mile run. He can make
the field look foolish for 200 or 300 yards,
and then It's the old pulmotor and good
night.
Two days ago we missed an easy 28.foot
putt. Henry Ford Is right. A cigarette
Is no good for a steady nerve.
If the Dodgers continue their winning
streak. Mr. Ebbeta will be glad to with
draw his charge that "baseball Is still in
Its Infancy" The Colonel will then be
willing to admit that it has at last ar
rived as a worthy game.
In the First Division 7
Even when traveling at an abnormal
clip. It was hardly possible to figure the
Tanks up with the White Box, Ited Sox
or Tigers. The stuff wasn't quite there,
barring a supernatural break of fortune.
But outside of this trio they presented
first division possibilities, as compared to
Washington, St. Louis. Cleveland or
Philadelphia. So In spite of their late
slump, which has driven them down hill
at a dizzy clip, there Is still a chance
that Smiling or Wild Bill, as the case
may be, Donovan, will be able to defend
fourth place. For they have a number
of first-class players and several who by
next year should be stars. But for the
time being the Yanks must forget they
are the Yanks, put tradition well behind
their Innermost thoughtsand then the
first division I not out of reach.

FKESH WATER NOTES
Trout fishing 1ms received a setback
again owing to the unseasonable weather
and excessive rnlns throughout tho moun
tainous districts In addition the water
Is unseasonably cold nnd tho trout aro
Iiiii..i.mt tti hniinm nnd will not rise
to the fly. Few natural files have been
seen flying about by the anglers, who
have returned from the' different fishing
rcsottB through Pennsylvania, and most

with bait. In the Crcsco Valley region
of tht Poconos last week thero was a
heavy fall of hall. New York reports
'similar conditions.
Drs. S. M. Wilson and Justus Slnexon

ing, was unable to lute the trout from tho
bottom with this sort of fishing nnd had
to use other means to get tho 3D trout he
brought home.
Drs. W. Oakloy Hermance nnd John
H. Jopson, of Philadelphia, fished tho
waters around Willow Grove, N: J , Dec
oration Day and returned with a flno
mess of pickerel. A number of small

returned to the water.
At Inst the considered lmposslblo feat
of catching a trout within a short dis
tance of Philadelphia has been accom
plished by Joseph Carson, a member of
tho Philadelphia bnr The stream Mr.
Carson was so successful In whipping Is
about two miles from Frazer. on tho
Main Line, and Is about 40 miles' train

xno victory gained by the Phillies In
urooitiyn yesterday was a lucky one,
ucspue tne Driuiant pitching by Mayer,
Both runs were handed to them. Til
hitting was not strong enough to wfai!!
any game. The slump in batting li not

natural way of hitting.
The death of Dave Orr, in New Tork

was a slow fielder, but a terrific hitter,

about In the City of Churches.
